MAMANI MACEDO, Mauro. Tinkuy mayu: Rulfo and Arguedas. CELEHIS [online]. 2018, n.36, pp.1-10. ISSN 2313-9463.

Rulfo and Arguedas show several convergent points. Both migrate from cities of the interior to the capital of their countries, share the predilection for photography and movies, want to rescue their culture's memories directly or indirectly, and their writing is related to nature. In their stories, the wet and dry lands are main characters. For this reason, water is a fundamental element which moves their narrative. On one hand, it is possible to apreciate rains, rivers, puddles, seas; on the other hand, absent water shows the consecuences of the drought, which forces men to search the humidity that let plants germinate. Water simbolizes the emergence and the increase, because these efforts to find it arouse the insurgent thirst, as the peasant rebellion that defend the life of the mama qucha (laggons), mama paqcha (water falls), pachamama (mother earth). In other words, life springs with the humidity. From that point of view, the purpose of this paper is to study the tinkuy mayu (encounter of rivers), which symbolizes the encounter of Rulfo and Arguedas's lives and works formed by the same literary sensibility, forged with the same Latin American material.
